The Titan Men at the Folsom Street Booth talking about their favorite “nasty” memory from Folsom Street Fair. Best story goes to Jesse Jackman. Or Maybe Dirk Caber for his revelation that his nastiest memory was with fellow Titan Man Alessio Romero.

Also, yes.. François Sagat was there, looking amazing and seemingly… up to something. Yes, Francois pissed in a gatorade bottle and then just… left it for whomever was thirsty (with no indication of what was in the bottle because that’s how we roll).

While going through a massive archive of video shot on the set of Francois Sagat’s Incubus (it’s over 2 1/2 years ago), Titanmen director found what he calls “a gold mine of some hot, funny, cool and amazing” videos shot by the crew and cast during the 4-week shoot. He says he’s going to start going through it and posting it to his tube site Mancast.

Don’t miss the bit around 8 Minutes when they joke about the future of porn (which seems a lot like the movie Wall-E… eerie considering the movie hadn’t come out yet) and the part about 11 Minutes in when Brian gets the whole room to do an impression of Shay cumming.

Since it’s Folsom Weekend coming up in SF, I figured I’d post a few gems from the past over the next few days. There won’t be a Titan Booth this year since the production team are hard at work on a bunch of new projects we’ll tell you about soon.

We couldn’t possibly be more proud of Francois Sagat and the entire team here at Titanmen who came together as a team to produce the Incubus movies. Francois came to Bruce Cam and Brian Mills in early 2011 with a few rough ideas for a movie that would become a massive effort on all parts of our studio.

From the numerous special effects that our video editing and production team needed to plan, the many bridge-scenes that had no sex but involved hours of planning and production, rope-tying specialists, makeup artists, costume designers, prosthetic horns, ariel cameras, night-vision, head cameras and as far as we can find, the first-ever porn movie which used a GoPro head-camera to shoot someone walking naked around a desert, stopping and taking a piss (watch video of the making of that scene).

Brian Mills and Bruce Cam joined in on the underwater wresting scene that incorporated 5 camera men (two of them underwater), two body doubles and thousands of watts of lights(watch the making of that scene). Logistically we had to plan out shooting a movie that used three locations plus our studio, shot in two cities and using a cast of 13 porn stars and 20 extras.

Watching a scene like the Bacchus scene and how it was made demonstrates just how much work and attention to detail and special effects. It was also nice that the gods of thunder and rain cooperated and gave us the perfect touch of a storm while we were shooting.

More than just everyone doing their own jobs, the set was abuzz with people coming up with ideas on the fly, suggesting things, figuring out how to make them happen and joining in the whole creation of Incubus.

But to diminish the role of Francois in all of this would be a crime. He’s a creative genius and just watching this movie shows that from start to finish. And we’re very proud of Incubus.

While shooting at the Mr. S Leather space last month for an up-coming Titanmen Rough movie, Paul Wilde gave Shay Michaels some quick tips on the best way to partake in a bit of light BDSM with some Clothespins and Aymeric Deville.

People often ask about the shot from underneath when fucking in a porn movie. It’s always one of the hardest shots to get… here’s a complete, unedited clip.. you can hear the camera operator telling Francois to move his leg, Titanmen director Brian Mills yelling out to repeat lines to make sure they’re recorded. And yet… the guys keep on fucking…

This is some unedited footage from Incubus. The kind of thing that just gets incorporated into the movie. But this clip has been circulating the office for a couple weeks and considering how many times I’ve had to um… excuse myself and watch it on my iPad in the supply closet, AND considering how popular Francois is here, I figured this would be something that you’d all want to see.

Titanmen director Brian Mills had a lot of fun with the new head cam he’d gotten to shoot parts of Incubus with Francois Sagat.

So he spent a couple days wearing it on his head to do some work and show people what he saw and did while shooting a porn movie. What he captures is… a mind-blowing and fascinating look into the making of Francois Sagat’s incredible movie.

This was one of those scenes that while we were upstairs working in the Titanmen office, we kept talking about what was going on down stairs in the studio. Paul Wilde asked Hunter Marx what his biggest fetish was when he was coming out to shoot a scene for the Titan Rough series.

Hunter told him about his home mud pit. Yeah, I had the same reaction that most of you probably did. I didn’t realize that a “home mud pit” was a thing you could “have.” Learn something new every day. I posted a video with Hunter talking about that here.

Anyway… the resulting scene is on the latest Titan Rough DVD and it’s brought a lot of “mud men” to Titan for the first time. Again, I wasn’t totally aware that there were enough gay men who were fans of mud wrestling as a fetish to actually have a name for themselves, but ever since Jasun tweeted out a few pictures from the set, the Mud Men have been asking when they’d be able to see the whole scene.

And more than a few of them have written back to tell us that what they loved the best about the scene, after the mud itself, was that you can tell just how much the guys are really into mudding up. I’m not sure if “mudding up” is a term used by the Mud Men when they have their Mud Man weekends (I’m not making this up, I swear), I hope I’ve coined a new phrase.

And I also hope that I get invited to a Mud Man weekend one time because… I’m kinda getting off on this scene too. Again… many unexpected things happen at Titan, one of which is that I seem to discover another fetish I didn’t know I had every month or so.

Here’s a cool “making of” clip from Incubus Part 1. After the editors went through the hundreds of hours of footage shot while Francois and the crew were making Incubus parts 1&2, they found enough that we’ll be able to show you every aspect of making the movie from preproduction to costume design to the shoots and still shoots and even how they did some of the special effects like the green screen body doubles and some of the really wild sequences like the rope tying and the score.

So you can still get full and unlimited access to Titan’s HUGE online catalogue streaming beautifully to your iPad, iPhone and computer (and with an Apple mobile device and an AppleTV, you can use airplay to stream to your big screen TV).

After months of production, industry rumors and a closely-guarded set in the desert of the Cochella Valley in Southern California, François Sagat’s Incubus is out. The jaw-dropping visuals and compelling imagery seen in the leaked shots fascinated and baffled people, starting countless conversations of just what François was up to this time. Featuring a mega-star cast including Hunter Marx, Spencer Reed, David Anthony, Junior Stellano, Jessy Ares, Shay Michaels, Jimmy Durano and Shay Michaels, Incubus was shot as two parts as the direct oral debut of Francois Sagat. It’s artistic, it’s compelling but above all else, it’s a full-on gay hardcore porn movie starring one of the most iconic porn stars ever.

And news gets better than Titan is also launching a totally redesigned site where members can get access to the complete Titanmen catalogue, streaming beautifully in HD on your computer and mobile devices. I just watched the whole first scene (which clocks in at a full 53 minutes and features 6 cum shots from 3 men!) on my iPad and I think it’s my new best friend.

Here at Titanmen.net I’ve been posting lots of “making of” and “behind the scenes” video from the set and now that it’s out I’ll have a LOT more to post. You can also see a lot of bonus video on the blogs of Francois Sagat, David Anthony, and Jesse Jackman.
